More than a record of the programme
An event brings together planned activities and unexpected encounters. Based in Rotterdam, Studio Akbudak photographs gatherings, business events and cultural activities. Onur Akbudak captures context, people and details so the image collection tells a connected story.
That might include arrivals, conversations, activities, speakers and the venue’s atmosphere. We discuss the essential moments and how the photographs will be used afterwards: a recap, website, social media or communication with participants.
A practical plan for the day
Share the programme, locations, expected flow and a named contact person. Identify the people, partners and activities that must be photographed. If two essential moments happen at the same time, we discuss how to approach them within the agreed scope.
Access, light, space to move and photography arrangements affect the coverage. Agree how participants will be informed about photography and how any objections will reach the photographer. Our event photography checklist helps organisers prepare these details before the day.
A coherent photographic story
After the event, photographs are selected and edited. The proposal defines the collection, file formats, usage and delivery timing. If you need a few images earlier for a recap, discuss this before the event; a fast initial selection is not automatically included.
The BuddyToBuddy and Balkan Dance projects offer examples of event photography in the portfolio. They can help you describe the balance of people, activities and atmosphere you want for your own event.
Plan photography for your event
Studio Akbudak works from Rotterdam and accepts projects across the Netherlands. For nearby locations such as Schiedam, Delft, The Hague or Dordrecht, travel and scheduling are agreed for each enquiry. Send the date, venue and programme through the enquiry form. For images of your organisation beyond the event itself, explore business photography.

What types of events do you photograph?
Business events, gatherings and cultural activities are among the possibilities. Share your programme and the images you need so that coverage can be planned for your event.
What information do you need for a quote?
The date, location, required attendance, programme and expected deliverables. Include essential people or moments and any restrictions at the venue.
Can we receive a few photographs quickly?
Please mention this before commissioning the work. An early selection can be discussed and needs to fit the production schedule and agreed delivery.
